Abstract — Recently autonomous cars are being in demand to
launch into the market for safety and luxury. Autonomous car is
an interesting area of research for Engineers and Researchers.
Running an automated car on the road in real-time requires
several factors to consider. Among them detecting the nature and
type of the road is one major aspect. For different types of road
surfaces, the control of speed, acceleration, break etc are
required to adjust in a proper manner. This paper gives a very
cost effective and efficient way of designing a surface identifier
for fully autonomous cars. Using the surface identification
module the car can identify the surface just in front of it and
accordingly it can adjust its speed to move safely.
